Most likely all of them has at least one mars, if not multiple. The truly amazing possibility is that at least some of them could have an earth.

I don't know about that, many of those stars in the photo are larger blue hued stars, which may not be conducive to the formation of planets. And for another, there is only one Mars in the solar system, and since we lack data on all other planets besides the ones in our systems, its best to assume that most stars only have one Mars type planet (desert, subsurface water ice, former ocean etc). Red dwarves (stars that are most likely to form planets of low mass) are pretty much invisible in this picture, due to their faintness.

And the same time it feels like we’re alone in the universe.

Is that Uranus to the upper left of Mars ( Light blue in color ) ...or maybe Neptune ?

Thanks... Sorry but my knowledge of heavenly bodies' names is limited to our home system for the most part

Nice pic!!
Mars seems to be in a location void of stars. Is that a processing artifact or just happenstance that it was located in a slightly dark spot in the sky?
